My client is an MNC Fabless Semiconductor in Singapore.
Job description
Supplier Quality Management
- Develop, implement, and maintain a supplier quality management system for wafer sort, Burn-In, and Final Test suppliers.
- Define and track supplier quality KPIs (Yield, PPM, test escapes, reliability failures..)
- Conduct periodic business and quality reviews with key partners to align expectations and improvement.
Compliance & Audits
- Plan & conduct VDA6.3 process audit & IATF16949 system audits at test suppliers
- Ensure full compliance with AEC-Q100 reliability qualification and customer specific requirement.
- Support APQP/PPAP deliverables for new product and changes.
Issue Resolution & Problem Solving.
- Lead root cause analysis and CA/PA(8D) for test related issues (yield drops, reliability failure, test escapes, burn-in fallout)
- Ensure robust containment, root cause analysis, and permanent corrective actions (PCA) are implemented at suppliers.
New Process/Components Introduction
- Work with R&D and Technology & Operation Team to approve test spec, correlation study, control plans, reliability requirements, and FA report.
- Validate Supplier readiness for NPI and new component introduction, including hardware/software, burn-in boards, and correlation validation.
- Review Design for Test (DFT) implementation and production test coverage, including scan, ATPG, memory BIST, logic BIST, and boundary-scan/JTAG, to minimize test escapes and support robust series production.
- Define and review Burn-In and High-Voltage Stress (HVS) technical requirements, including stress conditions, hardware readiness, correlation, monitoring, failure criteria, and disposition of stressed units.
- Ensure robust change management (PCN/ECN) in line with automotive standards.
Continuous Improvement
- Drive suppliers towards zero-defect strategy, focusing on process capability (CP/CPK), test coverage improvement, automation.
- Reduce test escapes, reliability fallout, and field returns risks through proactive improvement actions.
- Benchmark and share best practices across the supply base to strengthen supplier competence.
Reporting & Documentation
- Maintain up-to-date audit records, PPAP packaging, reliability data, FA reports, and supplier dashboard.
- Provide regular management update and supplier quality status, risks and
improvement progress.
Qualifications
Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, or related discipline.
- Certification (Six sigma black belt, IATF/VDA auditor) preferred.
Experience
- Minimum 7+ years of experience in semiconductor supplier quality or test engineering, with at least 3 years in an automotive semiconductor environment.
- Strong knowledge of semiconductor test flows, reliability testing, and failure analysis methods.
- Hands-on experience with DFT concepts and test-coverage review, including scan/ATPG, memory BIST, logic BIST, and boundary-scan/JTAG, with the ability to assess their application in wafer sort and final test.
- Practical experience with Burn-In and HVS for automotive semiconductor products, including stress-condition definition, burn-in boards/sockets, correlation, data analysis, and failure investigation.
- Hands-on experience with IATF 16949, VDA 6.3, APQP, PPAP, and AEC-Q100 qualification requirements.
- Proven track record managing reliability labs and FA support with OSAT test suppliers.
Skills and Competencies:
- Strong knowledge of automotive core tools (APQP, PPAP, MSA, SPC, FMEA)
- Proficient in problem-solving methodology. (8D, DOE, DMAIC)
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills to work with suppliers and customers.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional, and global environment.
- Willingness to travel to supplier sites globally.
